Symbolism
[edit]- Shield: Crimson and yellow are the colors associated with the Ordnance Corps, the original organization. The pile is used to simulate a pennon of honor, the four points "torn in battle" alluding to the original battalion's four battle honors of World War II; the two crimson bars referring to the two Meritorious Unit Streamers also awarded to that organization. The six blue fleurs-de-lis and two bars on yellow are the coats of arms in reversed colors of the 26th Division Quartermaster Train and subsequently the 101st Quartermaster Regiment, from which the original battalion was descended. The fleurs-de-lis represent the six World War I battle honors to which the unit was entitled.
Background
